I would not. Do you get this error code? P034062

I had that problem once. The car sounded like a diesel truck at idle when it first started up. I only had about 26K miles on it when it happened.
Another symptom is a long startup crank. The starter will keep chugging along after you release the key.

See if you can get a quote from an independent Mercedes shop. They just about always cost less than a dealer. You could severely damage your engine if it goes.
